A special new installation at Strathcarron Hospice is bringing people together to celebrate its 45th anniversary - and everyone is invited to take part.
To mark this significant milestone 45th year, a beautiful commemorative loom, kindly provided to Strathcarron by the Radical Weavers, was unveiled recently by HRH The Princess Royal.
In a symbolic first act, Her Royal Highness chose a blue thread, weaving the very first strand into what will become a collective piece of art created by the people of Forth Valley, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth.
Now, you are being invited to add your own thread to the giant loom, creating a powerful, shared reflection of the compassion, connection and support that has defined Strathcarron over the past 45 years.
The initiative is open to individuals, families, community groups and organisations, who can nominate themselves to take part in the weaving. Each thread added will represent a personal story, memory or connection to the hospice, helping to tell a rich and meaningful story of local Hospice Care across generations.
As well as contributing to the loom, you are warmly encouraged to spend time at the hospice, meeting staff and volunteers, learning more about the wide range of services provided, and experiencing the welcoming environment first-hand.
The Loom experience also offers a chance to enjoy the hospice’s new shop and newly refurbished café and relax with a tea, coffee and cake while taking in the surroundings.
For 45 years, Strathcarron Hospice has been at the heart of the community, providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care both within the hospice and in people’s homes. This anniversary year offers a chance not only to reflect on that legacy, but to strengthen connections for the future.
Whether you have a personal connection to the hospice or are simply curious to learn more, this is a unique opportunity to step inside, get involved, and be part of something meaningful.
Find out more and nominate your place in this special 45th anniversary weave, please contact Strathcarron Hospice reception team on 01324 826 222 or email communications@StrathcarronHospice.net to find out available dates.
